Comment

Plenty of speed, has already been compared to last year’s Horse of the Year and Derby winner Authentic, dominating winner of San Felipe has one more before Derby, in Santa Anita Derby April 3; no holes in this one. Undefeated in four career starts and impressed in his first of 2021 in Southwest on off track, will have final prep in Blue Grass at Keeneland on April 3.

Showed his class when flying home late to win Fountain of Youth, is going to be plenty scary as the distances get longer, Florida Derby is next on March 27.

Passed distance test when winning Oaklawn’s Rebel last week, could he be better than stablemate Life Is Good? We’ll know more when he runs in Arkansas Derby on April 10.

Has been in New York all winter, Withers winner will run in Wood Memorial at Aqueduct on April 3, blinkers have been a game-changer for him.

Vaulted into the picture with a win in Risen Star at Fair Grounds, Louisiana Derby on Saturday is next.

Was a distant second behind stablemate Life Is Good in San Felipe, will likely get another shot at him in Santa Anita Derby.

Jumped into the picture when he was second behind Essential Quality in the Southwest, Baffert says he’ll go in either Wood Memorial or Arkansas Derby on April 10.

Second in Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at 94-1, third in three-horse photo in Robert Lewis, will look to move forward in Louisiana Derby.

Was no match for Concert Tour in Rebel, will get another chance against him in the Arkansas Derby, not giving up on him just yet.

Didn’t beat a lot in Tampa Bay Derby, it was his first start on dirt and going long, unbeaten in three starts, will head straight to Kentucky Derby.

No match for Concert Tour in Rebel, but solid second, yet another from the Baffert barn, Arkansas Derby up next.
